PlotIn a world where assassins operate in secrecy, a seasoned hitman named Joe Heller receives a shocking medical diagnosis: he has only months to live. Accepting his grim fate, Joe decides to tie up his loose ends by putting out a hit on himself, ensuring that he won't burden anyone with his slow demise. After making these arrangements with his trusted associate, Anton, Joe plans to live out his last days in peace, until an unexpected twist reveals that his diagnosis was erroneous—a clerical mistake. With no way to cancel the hit, Joe finds himself embroiled in a deadly cat-and-mouse game as elite killers come for him, seeing his termination as just another contract to fulfill.
As the clock ticks, Joe relies on his skills to fend off these relentless assassins, each bringing their unique methods of execution. Along the way, he crosses paths with Lily, a brilliant hacker who becomes an unlikely ally in his fight for survival. As they delve deeper into the web of deceit that led to this lethal misunderstanding, Joe discovers that someone from his past might be orchestrating the whole setup. Faced with betrayals and revelations, Joe must employ all his tactical prowess and strength to turn the tables on those who want him permanently out of the picture, battling both his personal demons and the relentless forces out for blood.
